Thank you spirit whisperer. I only have a few of my poems on here, and they don't see too much traffic. It's lovely to have an appreciative visitor!

Wow! This is beautiful, raw and so real. Your words describe the female appreciation of something a man never gets to feel in quite the same way. I have heard it expressed in different ways down through the years but this poem hides nothing of the female psyche and her expression of love.It is how I imagine my wife feels and as a man I envy this appreciation that only a woman can truly have. Voted up awesome, and beautiful.

Thanks WhiskeyChick. I wrote this in a rare mushy moment. I've been with my guy 18 years now, but I some things stay special.

Hi Russ

Thank you for the compliment! I'm not overly wordy in real-life either which is why I love poetry. You can express so much in just a few words.

Hi, I really like the way you write. Simple and direct yet projecting emotion that paints pictures. Thank you

Thanks Ag, for giving me the correct word there. Doonas, duvets, blankets, what the heck! It's the bread-making that counts!

Hi Shalini

Thank you for directing me to the forum thread. I hadn't seen it, and I really appreciate all the kind words!

I'm glad you like the poem. The association with warm bread seems to be going down well, there must be a lot of keen bakers on Hubpages! LOL!

Yes Amanda we do have some very nice things for making love on or under, down under. A nice cuddly Doona or a lambs wool blanket does the job very nicely. Just makes you want to bake bread every day don't it ?

How did I miss this? ....like new bread warm and moist - warms the cockles of my heart!

Hi Cris, I'm very partial to new bread! In retrospect I should maybe have said that love-making is like new bread, best enjoyed warm and moist. Maybe I'll go back and change it!

Thanks CWB. I'm not sure whether Hubpages is getting more erotic, or whether we're all just testing out the theory that nothing sells like sex! LOL! As to my poem, no cynical ploys here (except maybe the title) this just came to me in a rare mushy moment!

Seems Hub Pages has been getting rather erotic lately. That's OK.

Very well composed and quite emotive. Nice work.

Guess you found me out, but sshhh! Don't tell the others!

That explains it then--cynics are always the softest touches. They have to have that hard exterior to protect that soft heart!

Hi Pam, I must have had a head rush today. I'm normally such a cynic when it comes to matters of the heart!

This is so sweet and sensual. I love the line, "Love is like new bread..."

Thank you for sharing it with your HP friends. :)

Gracias Elena. I don't really know what inspired it, but I just felt the urge to write something about that still, quiet moment of languid appreciation. The sleepy wakefulness before dawn.

...then wanting bed partners to perform, as opposed to looking at the ceiling and thinking of England... REALLY!

Amanda, I apologize for my balloney comment -- this poem calls for more serious and thoughtful commentary, I guess I can say I couldn't help myself, but here's another thumbs up, I really liked it.
